Arsh Dixit, Chemistry runs in my blood ... Phase Definition: a physically distinctive form of matter, such as a solid, liquid, gas or plasma.A phase of matter is characterized by having relatively uniform chemical and physical properties. Phases are different from states of matter. The states of matter (e.g., liquid, solid,gas) are phases, but matter can exist in different phases yet the same state of matter. For example, mixtures can exist in multiple phases, such as an oil phase and an aqueous phase.
